Who doesn’t love a Spring Loppis at Pappa Sven ? 🇸🇪❤️
If you haven’t experienced a Loppis before, it’s a very Swedish-style community market — a place to browse pre-loved treasures, enjoy good food and drinks, catch up with the community and simply soak up the atmosphere.
And oh, this one felt like home.
ABBA playing in the background, the community coming together, Pappa Sven’s Loppis almost picked clean as people snapped up their finds, happy kids enjoying delicious bakery treats, and women sitting knitting away with beautiful wool.
And then there was the food and drink!
☕ FIKA™ — one of my absolute favourites from my years living in Manly. I was sadly too late this time and they had already sold out… which says everything! 😍
🍬 YUMYUM - Swedish Candy Shop — Swedish liquorice and lollies that had me absolutely raving. So many favourites in one place!
Kippis — I tried their most amazing must gin drink (Finish inspired & born in Manly) and immediately understood the hype. Such a delicious Scandinavien inspired treat! A Bite to Excite will do a little collaboration so stay tuned!
And Pappa Sven, of course, bringing everyone together and creating that wonderful little slice of Sweden/Scandinavia right here in the community. 🇸🇪
Coming back to a Loppis like this — surrounded by good people, Swedish treats, music, laughter and community — really did feel like coming home.
Tack, Pappa Sven, FIKA, Yum Tum & Kippis. ❤️🇸🇪
